On July 15, 2024, the California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) today announced the completion of the Mountain View Grade Separation in Fresno County. The Mountain View Avenue Grade Separation is located between Cedar and Peach avenues and will take traffic over the BNSF railroad and future high-speed rail tracks.
Another 16 girders were placed for the grade separation at Mountain View Avenue. Similar to Floral Avenue, concrete has been placed for the diaphragms, and crews are now working on the deck of the structure. Crews will also place concrete for the bridge deck at Mountain View in the coming weeks.
At Mountain View Avenue in Fresno County, crews are working on reconstructing and relocating the Elkhorn Ditch with the installation of a pre-cast box culvert. The future grade separation will take traffic over the BNSF and the future high-speed rail lines.
Crews are hard at work relocating a telecommunications (AT&T) line at Mountain View and Chestnut avenues in Fresno County. Work is being conducted by LASAR Construction and Leo Tidwell Excavation Corporation, two of more than 500 small businesses working on the high-speed rail project.
